I hate flowers-I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.

-Georgia O'Keefe

artisan apartments

• The historic Curley School has been renovated into affordable live/work rentals for artists of all media and creative home businesses.  The grand opening was held on May 29, 2007 and the first tenants moved into the main building on June 1.
• Studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units have spacious open floor plans, high ceilings, and spectacular light.
• Ajo is centrally located in a region of important art and crafts fairs.  The galleries and art markets of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sedona, Tucson, Bisbee and Tubac are within a few hours' drive.  San Diego and Santa Fe are a day away.
• Ajo is a friendly, safe small town with a low cost of living.  Many artisans are already in residence.
• Our weather is warm and sunny year-round. We are only an hour from Mexico and two hours from the Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California.
• Beautiful Sonoran Desert surrounds us with its lush landscape of bajada, rock outcroppings, dramatic mountains and abundant varieties of cactus and wildlife.
• Our air is clear.  Our sunsets spectacular.  Our night skies a knockout.  And the evening coyote chorus spine-tingling.
• We are proud of being a multicultural town, and Curley School reflects that diversity.
